Transnational Capital and Class Fractions The Amsterdam School Perspective Reconsidered

Transnational Capital and Class Fractions The Amsterdam School Perspective Reconsidered

Emerging in the late 1970s the Amsterdam School’s (AS) most distinctive contribution to international political economy was the systematic incorporation of the Marxian concept of capital fractions into the study of international politics. Contending that politics in advanced capitalist countries takes place in a fundamentally transnationalized space in which the distinction between ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ has blurred it shows how in this space politics is structured by competing comprehensive concepts of control. Presenting a concise and instructive introduction to the origins development and significance of this distinct approach this book provides a unique overview of the School’s contemporary significance for the field. Offering a new generation of critical scholars the opportunity to become acquainted at first hand with some of the contributions that have shaped the work of the AS the contributions present critical commentaries discussing the merits and shortcomings of the AS from a variety of perspectives and undertake a (self-) critical evaluation of the current place and value of the AS framework in the broader landscape of approaches to the study of contemporary capitalism. Written for scholars and students alike it will be of interest to those working in international political economy international relations and political science political sociology European studies and branches of academic economics such as regulation theory and institutional economics. | Transnational Capital and Class Fractions The Amsterdam School Perspective Reconsidered

Political Geography of Cities and Regions Changing Legitimacy and Identity

Political Geography of Cities and Regions Changing Legitimacy and Identity

This monograph presents a novel typology of relational and territorial perspectives on legitimacy and identity. This typology is then applied to two different political and historical contexts namely the trajectories of the metropolitan region Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the metropolitan region Ruhr in Germany. The historical discussion spans 500 years providing valuable depth to the study. Taken as a whole the book provides a new perspective within the territorial-relational dichotomy and the geographies of discontent debate. Its key insights are that identity and political legitimacy are embedded in history and that both relational and territorial perspectives on these issues are time and place dependent. This book will be stimulating reading for advanced students researchers and policymakers working in political geography human geography regional studies and broader social and political sciences. | Political Geography of Cities and Regions Changing Legitimacy and Identity

Two Worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies

Two Worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies

Two Worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies reports the findings of an empirical study of drug users in London Amsterdam Turin Prague Vienna and Warsaw European cities representative of a wide range of drug problems and public policies. The innovative study reconceives the standard distinctions between 'hard-core' and 'recreational' drug users in terms of their social position. The authors argue that this is closely related to consumption patterns rather than drug choice and reveals that 2 relatively homogenous drug worlds exist within each of the study sites. This leads to the development of diverging drug markets; a friendly market for the integrated consumer and a highly commercialized one for the marginalized customer where low quality goods are sold at a higher price. These findings have significant implications for academics and professionals working in health psychology and urban studies.

Democracy – The God That Failed The Economics and Politics of Monarchy Democracy and Natural Order

Democracy – The God That Failed The Economics and Politics of Monarchy Democracy and Natural Order

The core of this book is a systematic treatment of the historic transformation of the West from monarchy to democracy. Revisionist in nature it reaches the conclusion that monarchy is a lesser evil than democracy but outlines deficiencies in both. Its methodology is axiomatic-deductive allowing the writer to derive economic and sociological theorems and then apply them to interpret historical events. A compelling chapter on time preference describes the progress of civilization as lowering time preferences as capital structure is built and explains how the interaction between people can lower time all around with interesting parallels to the Ricardian Law of Association. By focusing on this transformation the author is able to interpret many historical phenomena such as rising levels of crime degeneration of standards of conduct and morality and the growth of the mega-state. In underscoring the deficiencies of both monarchy and democracy the author demonstrates how these systems are both inferior to a natural order based on private-property. Hoppe deconstructs the classical liberal belief in the possibility of limited government and calls for an alignment of conservatism and libertarianism as natural allies with common goals. He defends the proper role of the production of defense as undertaken by insurance companies on a free market and describes the emergence of private law among competing insurers. Having established a natural order as superior on utilitarian grounds the author goes on to assess the prospects for achieving a natural order. Informed by his analysis of the deficiencies of social democracy and armed with the social theory of legitimation he forsees secession as the likely future of the US and Europe resulting in a multitude of region and city-states. This book complements the author's previous work defending the ethics of private property and natural order. Democracy - The God that Failed will be of interest to scholars and students of history political economy and political philosophy. | Democracy – The God That Failed The Economics and Politics of Monarchy Democracy and Natural Order

Orchestra Management Models and Repertoires for the Symphony Orchestra

Orchestra Management Models and Repertoires for the Symphony Orchestra

Every orchestra in the world oscillates between crisis and survival. This perpetual movement makes innovation both in organizational form and in artistic product vital to the sustainability of the symphony orchestra. Based on case study research in Flanders Amsterdam and London this book reflects on the sustainability crisis of the orchestra by framing it as a legitimacy crisis that affects both the orchestra’s artistic and organizational identity. The aim of this book is to explore the dynamics between various and often conflicting factors in the orchestra’s quest for survival and to show how these organizational dynamics relate to the orchestra’s repertoire. By highlighting the importance of every organization’s specific environment to which it needs to adapt this book illustrates that the orchestra field is not a field that relies on best practices. The book reflects on conventional as well as innovative orchestra models making the comparative point of view relevant for academic or practice-based researchers orchestra managers policymakers and subsidizing bodies interested in sustainable and future-oriented orchestra management. | Orchestra Management Models and Repertoires for the Symphony Orchestra

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

On 23rd July 1908 Sigmund Freud wrote to his colleague Karl Abraham: Rest assured that if my name were Oberhuber an obviously non-Jewish name in spite of everything my innovations would have met with far less resistance. From its beginning psychoanalysis has been seen as a Jewish affair and psychoanalysts have always been afraid of ending up in the position of the Jew - that of the outsider. In A Dangerous Legacy: Judaism and Psychoanalysis Hans Reijzer examines how psychoanalysts have managed that fear in the recent past and in the present. During his research which led him to Vienna Paris Amsterdam London Jerusalem Hamburg and Durban Reijzer encountered malicious as well as enlightening statements situations and incidents. A Dangerous Legacy is a striking study of an interesting area of research. Reijzer's conclusion is surprising: stereotypes about Jews are a factor not only in the everyday world but also in the psychoanalytic world as soon as Jews take part in it. | A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

The Instant Composers Pool and Improvisation Beyond Jazz

The Instant Composers Pool and Improvisation Beyond Jazz

The Instant Composers Pool and Improvisation Beyond Jazz contributes to the expansion and diversification of our understanding of the jazz tradition by describing the history and practice of one of the most important non-American jazz groups: The Instant Composers Pool founded in Amsterdam in 1967. The Instant Composers Pool describes the meaning of instant composition from both a historical and ethnographic perspective. Historically it details instant composition’s emergence from the encounter between various overlapping transnational avant-gardes including free jazz serialism experimental music electronic music and Fluxus. The author shows how the improvising musicians not only engaged with the cultural politics of ethnicity and race involved in the negotiation of the boundaries of jazz as a cultural practice but transformed the meaning of music in society—particularly the nature of improvisation and performance. Ethnographically The Instant Composers Pool encourages readers to reconsider the conceptual tools we use to describe music performance improvisation and creativity. It takes the practice of instant composition as an opportunity to reflect on music performance as a social practice which is crucial not only for jazz studies but for general music scholarship.

Circular Cities A Revolution in Urban Sustainability

Circular Cities A Revolution in Urban Sustainability

With cities striving to meet sustainable development goals circular urban systems are gaining momentum especially in Europe. This research-based book defines the circular city and circular development. It explains the shift in focus from a purely economic concept which promotes circular business models in cities to one that explores a new approach to urban development. This approach offers huge opportunities and addresses important sustainability issues: resource consumption and waste; climate change; the health of urban populations; social inequalities and the creation of sustainable urban economies. It examines the different approaches to circular development drawing on research conducted in four European cities: Amsterdam London Paris and Stockholm. It explores different development pathways and levers for a circular urban transformation. It highlights the benefits of adopting a circular approach to development in cities but acknowledges that these benefits are not shared equally across society. Finally it focuses on the challenges to implementing circular development faced by urban actors.

Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the 1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context of a city and the manner in which the city is an instructional indication of how a housing typology is embodied. The case studies presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also pursues how housing types developed evolved and helped define the city looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings and analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham; tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block linear block and block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam; space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo and high-rise in Toronto. | Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding

The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding

In the past studies of the history of bookbinding were mainly concerned with the exterior decoration. This book focuses attention primarily on the physical aspects of the binding and its construction principles. It is an expanded version of a series of lectures delivered by the author while Visiting Professor at the University of Amsterdam in 1987 supplemented with the results of ten years of intensive research in major libraries on the Continent the United Kingdom and the USA. It surveys the evolution of binding structures from the introduction of the codex two thousand years ago to the close of the Middle Ages. Part I reviews the scanty physical evidence from the Mediterranean heritage the early Coptic Islamic and Ethiopian binding structures and their interrelation with those of the Byzantine realm. Part II is devoted to a detailed analysis of Western binding techniques distinguishing the carolingian romanesque and gothic wooden-board bindings as the main typological entities; their structure and function is compared with those of contemporary limp bindings. The book is illustrated with over 200 drawings and photographs and contains a comprehensive bibliography. | The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding

Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 3: Figurations of Conflict and Resistance

Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 3: Figurations of Conflict and Resistance

At times of triumphant neo-liberalism cities increasingly become objects of financial speculation. Formally social and political rights might not be abolished yet factually they have become inaccessible for large parts of the population. The contributions gathered in this volume shed light on the clash between the perspectives of restructuring and reordering urban environments in the interest of investors and the manifold and innovative agencies of resistance that claim and stand up for the rights of urban citizenship. Renewed waves of urban transformation employ state coercion to foster the expulsion of poor and marginalised inhabitants from those urban spaces that attract interest from speculators. The intervention of state agencies triggers the work of hegemonic culture for reframing the housing issue and implementing moral and political legitimation as well as legislation that restricts urban citizenship rights. The case studies of the volume comparatively show the different and sometimes contradictory patterns of these conflicts in Berlin Sydney Belfast Jerusalem Amsterdam and İstanbul as well as in metropoles of Latin America and China. Innovative resistance agencies emerge that paint possible paths for the re-establishment of the right to the city as the core of urban citizenship. | Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 3: Figurations of Conflict and Resistance

Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities East meets West

Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities East meets West

Growing inequalities in Europe are a major challenge threatening the sustainability of urban communities and the competiveness of European cities. While the levels of socio-economic segregation in European cities are still modest compared to some parts of the world the poor are increasingly concentrating spatially within capital cities across Europe. An overlooked area of research this book offers a systematic and representative account of the spatial dimension of rising inequalities in Europe. This book provides rigorous comparative evidence on socio-economic segregation from 13 European cities. Cities include Amsterdam Athens Budapest London Milan Madrid Oslo Prague Riga Stockholm Tallinn Vienna and Vilnius. Comparing 2001 and 2011 this multi-factor approach links segregation to four underlying universal structural factors: social inequalities global city status welfare regimes and housing systems.

City and Enterprise Corporate Community Involvement in European and US Cities

City and Enterprise Corporate Community Involvement in European and US Cities

This title was first published in 2003. While in the past corporate community involvement was mainly considered a form of philanthropy nowadays the argument is gaining credit that corporate community involvement is not only a matter of ethics but also of self-interest. As companies recognize their interest in the welfare of the city they may become inclined to invest in some way in that city's welfare. Assuming that the interests of public and private stakeholders tend to converge as companies become aware of their interest in an attractive environment then corporate community involvement may bring along a new type of public-private partnership as an instrument of urban regeneration. Bringing together comparative case studies from Amsterdam Chicago Leeds London Munich New York Seattle St. Louis and The Hague this considers the potential implications of corporate community involvement for the sustainable development of cities and the creation of cross-sector partnerships. It analyses the involvement of companies in urban challenges in the fields of education employment safety affordable housing and the living environment. It also looks at the efforts made to establish strategic partnership between enlightened corporations and public authorities. The book reveals that pro-active firms attach much value to investments in their urban environment as part of their corporate strategy. But it also shows that cities do not yet take full advantage of these arising opportunities. | City and Enterprise Corporate Community Involvement in European and US Cities

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities outlines and explains adaptation urbanism as a theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating resilience projects in cities and relates it to pressing contemporary policy issues related to urban climate change mitigation and adaptation. Through a series of detailed case studies this book uncovers the promise and tensions of a new wave of resilient communities in Europe (Copenhagen Rotterdam and London) and the United States (New Orleans and South Florida). In addition best practice projects in Amsterdam Barcelona Delft Utrecht and Vancouver are examined. The authors highlight how these communities are reinventing the role of streets and connecting public spaces in adapting to and mitigating climate change through green/blue infrastructure planning maintaining and enhancing sustainable transportation options and struggling to ensure equitable development for all residents. The case studies demonstrate that while there are some more universal aspects to encouraging adaptation urbanism there are also important local characteristics that need to be both acknowledged and celebrated to help local communities thrive in the era of climate change. The book also provides key policy lessons and a roadmap for future research in adaptation urbanism. Advancing resilience policy discourse through multidisciplinary framework this work will be of great interest to students of urban planning geography transportation landscape architecture and environmental studies as well as resilience practitioners around the world. | Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

This book concludes a trilogy that began with Intelligent Cities: Innovation Knowledge Systems and digital spaces (Routledge 2002) and Intelligent Cities and Globalisation of Innovation Networks (Routledge 2008). Together these books examine intelligent cities as environments of innovation and collaborative problem-solving. In this final book the focus is on planning strategy and governance of intelligent cities. Divided into three parts each section elaborates upon complementary aspects of intelligent city strategy and planning. Part I is about the drivers and architectures of the spatial intelligence of cities while Part II turns to planning processes and discusses top-down and bottom-up planning for intelligent cities. Cities such as Amsterdam Manchester Stockholm and Helsinki are examples of cities that have used bottom-up planning through the gradual implementation of successive initiatives for regeneration. On the other hand Living PlanIT Neapolis in Cyprus and Saudi Arabia intelligent cities have started with the top-down approach setting up urban operating systems and common central platforms. Part III focuses on intelligent city strategies; how cities should manage the drivers of spatial intelligence create smart environments mobilise communities and offer new solutions to address city problems. Main findings of the book are related to a series of models which capture fundamental aspects of intelligent cities making and operation. These models consider structure function planning strategies toward intelligent environments and a model of governance based on mobilisation of communities knowledge architectures and innovation cycles. | The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

The Routledge Handbook of the Gig Economy

The Routledge Handbook of the Gig Economy

Research on the growth of the precarious economy is of signifi cant interest as the economy increasingly becomes dependent on gig work. However as platform and automated service work has grown there remains a chasm in understanding the key aspects of digital labour. This handbook presents comprehensive theoretical empirical and historical accounts of the political economy of informal work from the late 20th century to the present. It examines the rich and varied analysis and critique of the informalisation of work focusing on its most signifi cant theories intellectual traditions and authors. It highlights the political social cultural and developmental impact of the deterioration of employment in the Global North and Global South as well as the extreme threat posed to the planet by the growth of contingent work poverty and enduring and increasing inequalities produced and reproduced by the reformation of capitalism in the contemporary age of neoliberal capitalism. The period from the 1980s to the present is marked by the expanded extraction of surplus value from workers through the creation of non-standard jobs and the restructuring of work. A central component of the restructuring of work is the extension of gig employment through the development of algorithmic platforms which direct labourers to perform discrete tasks. This is a definitive collection representing the primary reference work contributing to our understanding of the subject. The book is written and presented in a clear manner accessible to scholars and researchers of international political economy labour economics and sociology who are eager for new research examining this phenomenon as well as specialists in the field of labour relations.
